Good Morning Rick and All

 

I joined because local clubs are an important part of our ham life.  

Together with ARRL they give us an opportunity to serve our community.

There is always someone with a negative comment, and they are best ignored.

 

I’ve been licensed now for 57 years, and I am not really active in club affairs 
but am an interested member.

I was a PRRL guy from the 1970’s, and part of the original ECHO society group. 

 

Thank you to the ones that are more active and do the work necessary to keep 
BVARC running.

You are 100% right Kori:

It's not all roses and rainbows of course. This club has a lot of issues. 
Number one is poor attitude... Too many times there is negativity when there 
doesn't need to be. Frankly, there should never be negativity. It's a hobby, it 
should be fun

I believe Kori (WX5KR) is 100% correct. We should strive to always be positive 
with all members. Also, we really need to think before we speak, even if we 
don't like what is said. We as a club should be understanding with newer 
members. They may not know what the club has done in the past. So, if they ask 
a question they should not be meet with negativity.  Negativity should not have 
a place in this club. I believe that that will destroy the club in the long 
run. As to the question, I became a BVARC member because the I was in had too 
much negativity. So, I was told about this great club by Theresa (KE5MUX). 
since then, I was greeted with wonderful new friends. I think that this club 
will be better after we look into all the minor issues and move forward.

Hello all,

 

I don't usually like to reply to the reflector, but I figured I would do so for 
this email (yes Rick I know you asked us to reply directly). The reason I 
joined BVARC was at least partially by chance. When I started looking into 
getting my license in late 2020, the BVARC testing sessions were one of the 
first things to come up in my internet searches. I reached out to Mark (K5MGJ) 
about testing, and from there I joined the club for $5. Another reason was the 
Stir-Crazy Net on 146.940MHz. It was one of the first things I ever heard on my 
HT before I even got my license, as well as the Alaska Morning Net on 
444.300MHz. So I hope credit is heavily given to John K5LKJ, Robert KD5YVQ, and 
Steve N5ZUA. The nets, the active repeaters, and all of the activity of folks 
identifying as BVARC members therein are the biggest reasons for me even having 
an interest in being in a club at all. The folks on 146.94 are knowledgeable 
and helpful. The BVARC meetings are sometimes interesting, but for my first 
year I rarely tuned into those. However, I was there as often as I could be for 
the BVARC Stir-Crazy net. Both to talk and to listen.

 

Another part of the question is surely "Why have you renewed your membership?" 
Is it the events we do? Not so much for me. They are great, especially the big 
ones like Field Day. But the friends I have in the club, the community that has 
been built around the club is why I'm still here. We have something awesome 
here, something that we should nurture and grow. That's how I feel about the 
club, which is why I'm so interested and feel invested in growing the club. I 
try to promote the club as much as I can, our events, our nets etc. The hobby 
has so many different aspects, and to know you're just a degree or two of 
separation from a knowledgeable person who has experience working with an 
aspect of the hobby you're not familiar with is fantastic. I have always been 
an autodidact, but having just a quick email and response from someone who can 
answer a question, massively cuts the time it takes to master a topic.

all benefit from trying to keep positivity, comradery, and flexibility in mind. 
The hobby has been falling out of interest for a long time, and recently there 
have been signs of life. The reasons for being in ham radio have changed (from 
my understanding as a relatively new ham), the interests are varied,and the 
demographics have changed. We also need to understand that the world has 
changed, the ways people socialize, the ways people communicate to each other 
too. The club needs to adapt and change with the times. I don't believe that 
means we have to throw out the older ham activities or ways of doing things all 
together. We should not try to completely change the target of the club, we 
should grow the tent.

 BVARC LIFE MEMBERI first came to BVARC in the 80s before I became a ham, the 
meetings were upstairsin an old firestation on hwy 6 which probably no longer 
exists.. The members encouragedme and I took my first test (with code back 
then) at the Strake high school with Harold ND5F (SK)and Ray Dillard (WA5F) and 
those guys.. wow  some great memories... though the years ..
I have tried so many aspects of ham radio from Fast scan and slow scan TV to 
crossband,1.2 ghz handie talkies, mobile rigs, HF rigs (lots of HF rigs) 
...Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom. Flex radio.A bazillion antennas over the years,Packet 
radio (we used to have a local packet chatroom using 2 meter frequencies 
simplex)Bvarc used to put on Saturday FOX hunts, Frostys sidewalk sales in 
Alief and later onMurphy road, We used APRS, RTTY, PSK31, and now FT8 is a 
kick!!  IRLP nodes, The ham radio balloons  we got seriously into for several 
years.. Field days,  Museum ships,and more I can not even think of.. Helping 
folks and loving the folks that help me...
IN fact, to boil it down, the fellowship, friends, the amazing folks that have 
been (SKs) or are currently associated with BVARC are why i love the club...

And if you’re upset about something club related or with one of its members 
PLEASE address it privately. Dirty laundry doesn’t belong here on the

other people on this besides club members and they don’t need to see this stuff.

BVARC after getting shut out by Net Control after your approval.  Mike was 
supposed to contact me about the matter, but never heard from him.  I did not 
complain, and just took my medicine on that issue.  My wife, General Class 
(KG5VPB) and I never had an interest in BVARC after that.  I hope the best for 
all in BVARC.  Its simply not our thing in a milieu such as that, Sir.

 Life member.  I joined because I wish to support BVARC in their endeavor to be 
the premier club in the Houston metro area.
